Event: Wilderness Traverse
 

Managed Wilderness Traverse Race HQ - 35 hours without sleep but it was exciting as always and fun to see so many friends.

Short sleep after staying up until the wee hours learning about the Yellowbrick trackers that arrived last night, then writing a Wilderness Traverse Emergency Protocol based on them. No problem, I can catch up on sleep this weekend - NOT!

Race check-in took place at our host site, Grand Tappattoo Resort near Parry Sound.

Many thanks to Pat Chan, who flew out from Edmonton to help us out at WT HQ!

Another WT preparation day. I was planning a long, productive evening but the power has gone out with an estimate of 3 hours to restore it. So I can't use my electronics (for long), can't make dinner and can't drink water. I guess I could pack by headlamp. I'm thirsty already!

I thought about running. Sigh.

If you haven't seen it, Cristina Gordhun dug up this amazing vintage video made by Orienteering Ontario at "the first championship event in Canada" in the late sixties. "A sport of mind and muscle!"
